    Ok Nick ;
    Abe gave you some good advise,with fuel injection you'll get better throttle responce,but I like Berry Grant carbs so I used to run those,I also used erson cams probable in the range that you want to run, they have a [T.Q.] or torque series cam. I've run the TQ 20 in a 350 buick smooth Idle. Pulled good off Idle up to about 5500rpms/ I also ran a TQ 30 in a 302 ford this had a rough Idle. But from 2000rpms to about 6000rpms IT felt like it was gonna tear your head off.And I drove this car every day and loved every minute of it. needles to say the car that I loved the most got stoled. I hear Isky cams have better RPM range though,but I've never used one of their cams. hope this will help you,but remember there is no substitution for Cubic inches.That's what make torque and gets you down the road!
